…po (#6422)
## Explanation
We identified duplication in JSON RPC middleware logic between the
mobile and extension clients, particularly around the 5792 middleware
stack and capability handling. During recent Wallet API and Perps
integration discussions, the team agreed this presents an opportunity to
abstract and centralize this logic into a core monorepo module.
The motivation here is to:
* Reduce code duplication across mobile and extension clients
* Create a client-agnostic foundation for capabilities (including
auxiliary funds, capability advertising, and required assets)
* Support the upcoming Metamask Pay (MM Pay) initiative by establishing
a standardized middleware layer
* Facilitate future multi-chain and auxiliary funds work without
creating divergent patterns
So the work done on this PR aims to:
1. Create a new core package `eip-5792-middleware` to host shared
middleware logic.
2. Extract the 5792 middleware logic and capability handlers from both
extension and mobile clients.
a.
[Extension](MetaMask/metamask-extension#35541)
b. [Mobile](MetaMask/metamask-mobile#19064)
4. Refactor them to be client-agnostic and consumable by both clients.
5. Maintain feature parity with existing implementations while improving
modularity and testability.
6. Include initial unit tests and integration hooks.
